Current solar vs current nuclear yes, you’re 100% right.
But there are likely new ways of capturing, storing, transmitting that have yet to be unlocked.
I’m not suggesting that folks get excited about solar farms 2.0. But I am saying that we need more ambitious solar ideas. Reflect Orbital (BHAG and may not work) is an example.
Another way to frame it: who’s working on progressing us to a Dyson Sphere?
A Dyson Sphere with the capability to direct that energy anywhere in the world based on market dynamics and demand is equally as (probably more) exciting to me as a nuclear reactor beside my water heater.
